Happy New Year!

Good Morning World,

The "bongs" proclaimed 2018 earlier.  Hope its a good one for you.  Remember Big Ben may shortly fall silent once again, but the clock keeps ticking.

Best wishes to all.

If you want to get ahead..........GET A HAT! (1)

Visible to anyone in the world

Good Morning World!

Well it's almost 2018, wherever you are.  My course is on holiday for Christmas, but its an opportunity (for me anyway) to get ahead.  I lost time in assignment week as "other work" impeded on studies.  I fully expect similar circumstances to arise in the New Year, but hey, forewarned is forearmed2 as they say  smile

Best wishes to all

Good Morning World!

Extra hour in bed for me  smile  Shame we can't have an "extra hour" every day - i'd certainly welcome it.  The Sun1 says - so it must be true hahahaha - that just one in ten of us will use the hour gained as clocks go back on Sunday to make love!  Well, enough of this frivolity, must get some coursework done.  Have a good day everyone.  Enjoy your bonus sixty minutes - you'll pay them back in Spring.

Blow those cobwebs away!

Visible to anyone in the world

Good Morning World,

Get out of bed on the RIGHT side and blow those cobwebs away with a bit of Chumbawamba  smile  This tune still "does it" for me and makes a good start to the morning.  Hope all is well out there.  Whether you're aiming for a better life, or just learning for fun.  Happy studying.

Extra oomph anyone?

Good Morning World!

Its mornings like this, when its hard to get going, that I have to push myself.  Any motivational advice would be gratefully received.  It helps that (so far) I enjoy the course and can see some progress.  I am learning new things.  There is a temptation to just have a few days off - but I know this will make it twice as difficult to get started in the days to come.  A rousing bit of music can sometimes work, as can a few press ups................further tips anyone?

Does anyone read this?  Or is it just me??  It's cold, wet and windy in England.  Not really fit to turn a dog out, as my mother might remark.  Perfect weather to get some coursework done smile  Motivation remains high - partly because i've spent "hard earned £££" and partly due to the course material being interesting, stimulating and challenging.  I'm not sure what to pursue afterwards, but whatever I study further must be interesting.  Please make a comment all you readers in internet land.

Best wishes


David
